Even the most novice of decorator could learn something from this book. It goes from the very beginning of how to cover a cake, how to pack a piping bag, to more complicated like how to lay fondant, and how to make characters. Each skill is fully illustrated with real life pictures and tips. They may not show off tons of gorgeous cakes, but at the same time, if you're a novice would all those gorgeous creations make you more nervous to start something new. Instead this book focuses on the small things. You have to master the beginning before you can become a master. This book is well done from beginning to end.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the Publishers for this review copy, given in exchange for an honest review.
What you have here is a complete step-by-step, idiots guide on cake making. If you are a complete novice, then this book is perfect as it covers everything. If you are know something about cake making, then you'll will find something in here which you didn't know!
There are no recipes for specific cakes in here, although there are some pictures as to what kind of cakes you could make. There are a couple of recipes for buttercream and fillings, but this book is essentially a guide on how to do all the little bits which make the perfect handmade cake. Some of the things it covers are piping, borders, flowers, stencilling and writing. There are pages and pages of instructions and this book makes a difficult craft look so easy.
Just be aware it is an American book, so some of the measurements may be different. This book is so perfect for all budding cake designers and I reckon even I could make a cake look good using this book!

First Time Cake Decorating: An Absolute Beginner’s Guide
I Picked Up This Book Because: While I’ve been baking for a while I want to expand on my skills in cake decorating so I chose to start at the beginning.
The Story:
This book is very well set up for beginners. Everything is labeled and explained precisely. There are clear step by step instructions and tons of great tips and tricks. I have a ton of things I want to try and I think these instructions will help my attempts be successful.
The Random Thoughts:
4 Stars

This is a pretty solid introduction to basic techniques in cake decorating.
It includes sections on:
Basic cake preparation - This explains tools of the trade, types of icing, and how to ice cakes with them, as well as things like how to stack cakes. It doesn't include details on actual cake recipes, but does tell you how to set up pans for baking them. It was a bit odd not to include at least a single basic cake recipe, as many recipes just aren't suitable for the kind of heavy decorating this book is designed to facilitate. It did include recipes for icing, but they're ... questionable. The buttercream uses "high ratio shortening" and butter FLAVOURING?! If I received a cake with butter FLAVOURED buttercream I wouldn't be happy. Just use butter??? I know the price of the stuff went up a lot lately, but we're not in some kind of butterless post-apocalyptic scenario yet. Fortunately that was the most objectionable thing about the book.
Piping techniques - Step by step images, with written explanations of what different piping tips do, how to make borders with them, writing, and several different types of flowers. While the step by step were quite thorough, I think I've been spoiled by video tutorials, because I just didn't find the still images that helpful for picturing the fluid movements required to ice some of the more complex designs, and the text didn't help much. Obviously I can't criticise a book because it doesn't have video, but in terms of usefulness, Youtube is a much better resource in this regard I'm afraid.
Fondant and gum paste accents - This includes step by step instructions for making all sort of add ons for decorating. From using moulds, to hand-shaping flowers and basic animals, it's a good overview of basic methods regularly used.
Miscellaneous techniques - More step by step instructions on stencils, adding sparkle dust, using edible frosting sheets, and painting and airbrushing fondant.
What's missing from this book is inspiration on how to use these techniques. There are only four images of completed decorated cakes in this whole book, including the one on the cover, and so you don't see most of the techniques as part of a greater whole. There are many other books that will show you step by step how to create specific looks, but I really think this book could have included a few more examples to show the beginner what they can do with what they've learnt.
In general, I view this as a decent reference manual, the kind of thing you'd pull off a shelf halfway through baking to go 'wait, how do you pipe roses again?' Because it's been a year since you last made an anniversary cake and you're just a hobby baker. For actually learning the techniques themselves, there are many incredible channels on Youtube (How To Cake It is one of my favourites) going into great detail, and showing you a far greater range than could possibly fit in any book, so I find it hard to recommend this as a sole resource for a complete beginner.

I love to cook. It is more of a hobby to me then a means to survival. I can cook or bake anything but to decorate a cake I am sorely lacking. This book has made it sound so easy though, It has given me tons of tips as well as recipes for homemade cake mixes, icings, and more.
The book is broken down into sections. There is a section on tools. Baking the cake, torting and filling cakes. How to use food coloring and more. Then you get to the section on how to icing the cake or using fondant. It even gives you a chart on what sized cakes are needed to feed and how many people. How to transport cakes and so much more.
This is the perfect book for anyone interested in learning how to decorate cakes, as there are several pages showing how to make the decorations and making the cake look amazing.

From Netgalley for a review:
As a wedding gift I got a bunch of cake decorating tools after talking about my interest in the craft, then it dawned on me as looking at all these tools...I have no idea what I am doing. This book changed that, it is truly a complete beginners guide to cake making and decorating, I especially am excited to try out the fondant sculpting! Sadly the author did not seem to have a high opinion of natural food coloring, which is sad since I am allergic to artificial color, they might be deemed safe by the FDA but not everyone can eat them! Other than that I cannot recommend this book highly enough if you want to learn the basics of cake decor.

Excellent. I am not a beginner at cake decorating, but this book has so much information on different techniques that I learned several new tricks I had never seen before. The information is complete, step by step directions with beautiful photos to enhance the instructions. There is plenty here from basic icing, fondant, gum paste and transfer sheets. Definitely a catch all, complete book to keep at arm's reach when starting a project.

As mentioned in the introduction to First Time Cake Decorating, cakes are an integral part of celebrations. There are very few celebrations which don’t have their own special cake front and center.
This book is designed not only for the beginner decorator but also as a go-to guide for those who have more experience.
There are four basic sections in the book, starting with Basic Cake Preparation. Nothing could be more important before decorating than to prepare a good foundation.
Tools For Making And Decorating Cakes gives you a list of the desired tools needed for cake decorating. Not all of the tools are strictly required, but are all practical and will enhance your process.
Next comes Baking The Cake, which covers all aspects of creating your cake including various factors which will affect the outcome. Torting And Filling Cakes comes next explaining how to add fillings between cake layers complete with step-by-step instructions.
Filling Recipes are next with a couple of simple filling recipes and information about using fresh fruit and icing as filling. Icing recipes follow with a few standard recipes, including of course the so popular royal icing recipe.
Food Color is covered next with the complete list of all of the different types of food colorings and helpful information. There are complete instructions on how to color both icing and fondant.
The rest of section 1 includes:
Icing A Cake In Buttercream
Buttercream Iced Cakes With Texture
Covering A Cake With Rolled Fondant
Storage And Transportation Of Cakes
Cake Boards
Stacking Cakes
Cake Chart
Section 2 covers Piping Techniques. In this section, you will you learn how to use pastry bags, tips, and couplers. It will also instruct you in creating a basic piping, piping borders, writing, creating simple flowers, advanced flowers, and brush embroidery.
Fondant And Gum Paste Accents are covered in section 3. This section also provides you with a required equipment list. You discover all you need to know all about silicone border molds, accents, rolling, cutting, flower making, and hand modeling.
Various Miscellaneous Techniques, like stencils, shimmer and sparkle cakes, edible frosting sheets, painting and coloring on fondant, and airbrushing are covered in section 4.
Clear To Follow Directions
Throughout the book, the step-by-step instructions are accompanied by many pictures. It could only be easier to follow along if you had a one-on-one demonstration in person.
This is the kind of encyclopedia-like book that you would refer to many times. I am sure that the claim in the introduction that even an experienced decorator would get something out of this book is entirely correct.
While the book makes everything look extremely easy, I am completely sure that it will take a lot of practice in order to create some of the delights presented. But I do believe that this book makes it a lot easier.

Creative Publishing International and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of First Time Cake Decorating: The Absolute Beginner's Guide. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.
First Time Cake Decorating is a beginner's guide to all aspects of cake decorating. This comprehensive book includes segments such as: Basic Cake Preparation, Piping Techniques, Fondant and Gum Paste Accents, and Miscellaneous Techniques. With new techniques depicted step by step, with full color photographs, readers new to cake decorating will be able to proceed on their own. Tricks of the trade and troubleshooting tips are located throughout the book, giving advice that can be quite helpful to those starting out.
This is a book for the basics, giving a foundation to cake decorating that beginners can build upon. It should be said that First Time Cake Decorating is more of a guide than a cookbook, as there are few recipes. The author instead chose to focus on the fundamentals of cake decorating, providing a guide with which readers can use as a reference in future decorating endeavors. As an experienced cake decorator myself, I would have liked this book when I was just starting out. The only place that First Time Cake Decorating falls short is in its lack of finished projects. Working on techniques is all well and good, but readers would benefit from some goals with which to aspire. I would recommend this book to those have a desire to learn to decorate cakes, as it is a well developed guide to all aspects of the art.

The pictures are clear, but for several of the buttercream techniques it doesn't say which pastry tip to use. I also wouldn't use the buttercream recipe in this book because it uses shortening and fake butter flavoring instead of just using butter.

While a thin how-to book it is a really good introduction to the basics of cake decorating.

This book is perfect for a beginner. It takes through the decorating process step by step.

5 stars for thoroughness of techniques, 3 stars for a newbie decorator being able to perform each technique with ease.
This book is very thorough from the tools needed to the various techniques used to create beautiful cakes. I have decorated cakes for 45 years and have used 98% + of the techniques used in the book. With lots of practice and the patience to follow the directions given a newbie could turn out a beautiful cake too.
This book has plenty of pictures to use as a visual aid for each technique.
